What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the Lomax hard tri-fold tonneau, installed a MESO Gashole, put rubber mats in all of the various wells that match the red Pro striping and put on a new flag license plate cover. next up, Raptor lights and hood struts.

 

@Devious6
I have a BakFlip MX4. My cover came with instructions to open up the drain holes and install the drain tubes, I didnt find it necessary. The only water that I found of any consequence was water that got in during high pressure laser washes because I have yet to install the tailgate seal that's sitting in my mod pile. The only water that I found getting in the bed from the cover were 2 small 1/4" gaps at the hinge right behind the cab next to the side rails and for the most part 2 small pieces of adhesive backed rubber gasket material took care of that.

Edit: personally I would wait until you had a good rain and assess whether or not you actually needed the drain lines. In my case I found that they would only interfere with full use of the bed.

 

Don't let them scare you . The drill bit stopper is your friend.

 

RAM mount that I had on my motorcycle found a new home today.

 

He's referring to holes for hood strut brackets.

 

What bumper are you running? Thanks!

 

Are those red trimmed insert mats aftermarket?

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

My miatake. From a previous post I was under the impression that the discussion was about a tri-fold tonneau cover.

 

Cold as H out there today, and furnace in my garage not working, so all I got done today was to upgrade my navigation map.
Now running OE071. Tomorrow or the next day I plan to install my V1 radar detector and Mobius ActionCam

 

Welcome to TW Jim!

 

Thank you. Happy to be here.

 

Thanks for the info. I need to let mine dry out - still had some water on the deck from the ride home in the rain yesterday. Then I'll have a better assessment. Seems to seal pretty tightly, though.

 

I'll get there.

 

Yes they are - found them on Amazon. Fit well - one or two are just a tad large but you can trim if you need. They come with both At and MT options. $15.75 delivered with Amazon Prime.

No problem Mark. We're all here to share a common passion and help one another out when possible. Have a great day and congratulations.

 

Not sure if it is relatable to what you're doing and I don't want to be a fear monger, but I picked up a set of these for my truck and really loved them. Then I ran into a problem with the QI Wireless Charger. I can't say that it was because of the mat I put over it, but the Rubber of the OEM charger has bubbled up and now my phone (or anything else I stick there) won't sit flat. I can't say it was because the new rubber cover held the heat in or if I left the charger on and should have turned the button off or if it was completely unrelated, but thought I'd let you know what happened to me I've got a '16 MT DCSB OR and the Qi Charger pad was nice and flat until sometime after I tossed in one of these aftermarket mats.

I still haven't found a solution to the bubbling, but I'm hoping to when I add a switch for the 2WD Lo mod here soon. I'm hoping I can just stretch the rubber back out once I take things apart for the new switch and have a little better access I may just try to rip out the OEM Rubber and leave the aftermarket.

 

My local dealer had the 17s for cheap! 265/70/17 ko2. 1.25 spider trax. 6112 and 5160s be here Monday.. had them set to 3/4 notch just to bring the front up 1in “according to there notch chart”

 

Congrats on the new truck Mark. It's beautiful!
Just as an FYI..I have that same Lomax tri-fold and have driven thru many long and heavy periods of rain and it has never leaked at all that I could detect.

 

Thanks! I think I'll pull that one off rather than take a chance! I appreciate your taking the time to warn me!
